Diana's funeral leaves London somber, silent
Continued from page 1A
I wasn't really prepared for the deep sadness I felt, the pounding in my heart or the many tears I would shed that day for a woman I really didn't know in a country not my own.
When the cortege reached Westminster Abbey, we walked to Hyde Park, where the funeral was to be televised. I passed a homeless man lying in a dirty sleeping bag in the doorway of a building. He was listening to the funeral on a small hand-held radio.
As we entered the sunny park with throngs of others, the service already had begun, and the high pitch of the choristers filled the air. Thousands were sitting on the grass in front of giant TV screens
while others sat off to the side, just listening.
We followed the funeral using a program the newspapers had printed. Many sang along with the hymns, while others stood or sat silently, weeping or stony-faced. As Elton John sang to rapturous applause, a woman in the back wailed and sobbed high and loud.
The next speaker was Diana's brother, Earl Spencer. His insinuation that she did not need a crown to be great produced more aplause, as did his attacks on the press.
When the Dean of Westminster, who conducted the service, called for a minute's silence, it was complete. The only sounds were the cries of a few babies and trees rustling in the breeze. It was an amazing feat for a city that never
knows a full moment's quiet.
After the service, most people lined the road along the park to watch the casket leave. They clapped, called out and tossed flowers as the body of the princess left London forever.
Nearly every shop window here has some memorial to Diana, and these probably will remain in place for some time. England has lived and breathed in her memory this week.
"I never knew there were so many flowers in all the world," said a German tourist who visited the bouquet-covered Kensington Palace last week.
I've never known so much complete and all-encompassing sorrow, and I can't help but feel sadness at what her family, her country and the world has lost.
